Property is beautiful, the breakfast was amazing. Short walk to the beach to North Beach. The staff was nice. The area is quiet and there’s a lot of places to eat around. Can’t wait to come back. The only thing that I think they need to change are their bath towels.

We stood 2 nights and overall our stay was pretty good. My girls enjoyed the pool. The breakfast was good. We stood on the 1st floor which was a bad choice on our part because we could hear footsteps all throughout the night. If you are able, I suggest staying on the top floor. The place is really nice plus the staff were super helpful and friendly. Restaurants and entertainment nearby.

Hotel was "okay", but seemed a bit outdated or basic for the premium price paid. Staff was friendly. No coffee maker in the room was a shock. Bed was comfortable. Parking was great with a pick up truck and trailer in their lower lot.
